Extracting the compressed file for installation on z/OS

For z/OS® platform, install the IMS™ Java™ On Demand features that are included in IMS, or extract the z/OS TAR file that you download from the IMS TM Resource Adapter website.

About this task

If you install the IMS Java On Demand features that are included in IMS, SMP/E installation instructions are in the Program Directory for Information Management System (IMS) Transaction and Database Servers.

If you download the z/OS TAR file from the IMS download page, to install the IMS TM resource adapter:

Procedure

  1. Transfer the downloaded TAR file to a z/OS HFS in binary mode.
  2. Use the tar program to extract the contents of the TAR file to a target installation directory. For example:
    tar -xvf icoxxxx.tar 

Results

Successful extraction and installation, either by using the SMP/E process or by manually expanding the contents of the downloaded TAR file, places the files in install_path/Vxxxx where install_path is /usr/lpp/ims/icoxxx. Vxxxx is the IMS TM resource adapter version number of the TAR file that you extracted the files from, or the APAR or PTF that is used for the installation.
